If you love steam punk, but haven't been to Europe, you probably haven't seen of heard of Abacus Theater yet... just like me. But I saw a video on facebook and was shocked at the fantastic steampunk three wheelers, big wheelers, etc!

Steamroadsters last weekend at Classic Days Schloss Dyck 2019.

also known as strassentheater, the street theater troupe Abacus Theater has several crazy fun steam punk vehicles, some Mad Max ones, and some spaceship styled ones.

Goodyear Dragster Bike, anyone know about it?

Looks like Don Prudhomme gave it a try

the last two lines might not get your attention, but, the mention of Auto World in Scranton PA at the end of the ad ought to give you a laugh! The contact name of Oscar was surely Oscar Koveleski, the lifetime President of the P.R.D.A. (Polish Racing Drivers of America)

the yellow tires on the back are from the Goodyear try at making bike tires in brite colors

In the 1950s, Ducati aped its rival Piaggio by making three-wheeled utility vehicles.

There was a tiny 48cc 2-stroke called the Fattorino, and then the bigger Muletto. The engines were based on Ducati’s OHC singles, and you could choose from a 175 or a 200 (as shown here). You got a 350 kg carrying capacity and a top speed of around 60 kph, and different coachwork was available with open and enclosed cabs. The red stripe, by the way, was a legal requirement in Italy.

You can now buy a 1984 Triton A2 via Facebook Marketplace

this is said to be #5 of 10

Reportedly, only seven of these ten examples have been recovered. In 2016 it was believed that two examples lived with one owner in Canada, while three others were bound to museums as a show pieces in Mississippi, South Dakota and Japan. https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2016/05/dominos-triton-no-1.html

This is the third time that an A2 has popped up for sale in the past two years and twice in the past two weeks.

two trucks Harley Davidson made...

the Motorcycle Truck and the Package Truck.

So, though they aren't a cab and pickup bed... they are trucks. I mean, what is an El Camino? A Ranchero? Falcon truck? They aren't the normal truck either, but they do indeed have a pickup bed.

So, I think that I can't find any fault with HD calling these trucks, if a truck hauls cargo, then these are in.

Terry's trike in Pahrump Nevada... terrific innovation with an old ammo can, for weatherproof storage

I've got an ammo can like that... military surplus is great for making improvised weather proof storage.
